DOCTOR GEORGE.

About the only earthly possession OF
any value George Hixson had ON his
! ltwenty-second birthday was a hand.
some diploma of parchment tied up
with blue ribbon. Tho diploma was
from il medical college of very high
standing, and George had worked hard
and faithful for four long years for that
diploma. That he deserved it, made
it Il valuable possession.
lie had with it good deal of capital
in the shape Of courage, enthusiasm,
faith in himself and the world. lie
was honest, manly and patient, and
could begin life ut the right eud of the
ladder.
lie was so poor that he had to walk
part of the way from the college to his
old home, the village of Sharon.
The first man he met at the end of
his tiresomc journey was old Euoch
Lampson, a man who had known
George from the day of his birth.
"IIow de do, George, how dc do:

greeting.

The old man scratched his head in

at the young man, whose face began

The Dependent Pension Bill proposes re-
lief to the men who are in most urgent need
of relief The pride and patriotism Of the
people can be successfully appealed TO TO
rescue from want and misery the men who
have done so much for the entire people.
There viii be strong opposition in the COM
munity to any measure looking to pension
ing able-bodied men who are as physically
competent as any others to make their own
living. There can be no good reason given
by any one why the Government should not
provide support for the men who once
served il faithfully and well, and now, by
reason of that service, are broken down.
The Dependent Pension Bill merely re-
quires fact to be shown-that the claim
ant is unable to perform the labor necessary
for his support. This is no more "pauperi-
zation than any other pension is. Every
claim for a pension has TO show that the
claimants physical ability has been seri-
ously lessened, and the Dependent Pension
Bill merely extends the principle underlying
all pensiOning.

THE UNToNIsM OF ST. LOUIS.

IL is a great mistake 10 talk Of St Louis
as " rebel town." While the proportion of
rebels and rebel sympathizers was somewhat
greater than in most of the cities north Of
the Ohio, the fact still remains that much
more than a majority of her citizens were as
determined Unionists as there were in the
country. They were such Unionists as the
East Tennesseans were-withoutany equivo-
cation or qualification. They not only loved
the Government, but they let it be known
from the very first that they were just as
ready to fight for it as anybody could be to
fight to destroy it. They were not dismayed
that the whole State of Missouri was arrayed
against them, but met every organization Of
the secessionists with an organization among
themselves, and were ready to strike deci-
siye blow before the rebels were. They were
a sOlidphalanx behind Lyon and Blair, ready
for any danger or sacrifice that would aid
the Union and injure rebellion. They pro-
tected from capture the great United States
Arsenal, captured by a splendid initiative
the force their rebel Governor was assembling
to seize the immense supply of arms there.
and the city, and with the aid Of a small,
body Of Regulars and three regiments from
Iowa and Kansas, drove an immensely SUI

THEIR IDOL.

The notorious Duke of Marlborough,
whose character is so bad, that he has been
excluded from the English court, which is
saying much, for in England almost any
thing will be forgiven Duke,-is at New
port, r. l., and is being toasted and feted to
the utmost by the toadies who form the
bulk Of the society there 1t is this class of
people who are the principal supporters of
the soldier-hating New York Times and EreH-
ing Post. There are no words mean and
virulent enough to express their opinion Of
any measure looking toward the just PEN
sioning of soldier who served his Govern
ment faithfully in its hour of peril. Yet
this rotten aristocrat whom they are fawn-
ing upon derives every cent of the immense
fortune he squanders in debauchery from
the enormous pension allowance given his
ancestor by the English Government in con-
sideration Of his military services. Instead
of making proper provision for the COM
mon soldiers and lower officers who fought
her battles in the Low Countries, England
heaped all her gratitude upon John Church
ill, Duke of Marlborough, their commander
and left them to find refuge in almshouses
or support themselves by begging when
they became disabled. People to-day talk
about the United States being more liberal
in its pensions than was ever known before.
This is certainly true, not only of this Ma
ton, but every other civilized one European
pensions to soldiers are all more liberal
than they ever were. Until within COM
paratively recent times it has been the
practice in European countries to give enor-
nous rewards to few favored aristocrats al
the head Of their armies, and condemn all
below them to penury, closely approaching
beggary. But since our Revolution, and
that in France, the private soldier has been
steadily rising in consideration. The French
Revolution taught the people of Europe
that the manhood and courage Of the rank
and file was quite as important as general
ship in winning battles.

"DRAwISG" THE GAR.

In the brutal old times in England IA
vorite sport was drawing badger. Into
barrel with one head out and lying upon
the ground healthy young badger was put,
and he speedily made himself at home in
his new nest The badger, when unattached,
is one Of the quietest and most inoilensiye
of wild animals. But he has thick hide,
strong sharp teeth, a jaw with a grip like q
blacksmith's wise and unquailing courage.
When he is driven to bay these make him a
terrible antagonist
After the badger had settled to rest in the
barrel, the next step OF the sports was to
get dog TO "draw" him out. Egged on by
his masters the dog would charge at the
barrel, and snap and snarl aud bark, until
the badger, lancying himself in danger,
would spring at bis enemy, pin him through
with his teeth, and the struggle would
begin.
The tactics now being employed against
the GAR. resemble nothing in the world
50 much as this drawing badger. yici-
GUS ours Of low degree are being continually
egged on TO snap and snarl and charge at
the GAR. TO provoke some hostile return

II seems that there are two tables extant,
which are claimed by their owners to be the
one upon which Lee signed the surrender of
his army. One of these is a marble-top affair
which has until recently been in possession
of Mrs. Gen. Ord, bu' has been sold by her
to Gunther, the great candy man of Chicago,
for 1000. Gen. Ord took possession of the
table while the high contracting parties were
still in the room. 1t has nick in the edge
of the marble made by the hilt of Lees
sword when he rose after affixing his sigma
ture. Gen. Custer took possession of another
table that was in the room and handed it
out through the window to one of his men,
but it is claimed that this was the one upon
which Gen. Gibbon wrote the order which
Gen. Grant signed, announcing the surrender
of Lees army.
